Total disability is good, but permanent total disability is even better. TDIU can be considered temporary, but permanent in total disability gets protection from future reductions. Watch as 35-year veteran’s attorney Mike Woods explains how the VA determines permanent total disability.
The VA deems a disability permanent when it is reasonably certain the veteran's condition won't improve. Age is an important factor, if you’re 75 years old, it's not reasonable that your spine injury is going to get better and you’re going to be able to return to work. However, that same person, if they were only 35 years old, might be considered temporary because they're young enough to improve.
To tell if you have been found permanently or temporarily disabled look at your rating decision.
Does the rating decisions say there are no future exams are going to be scheduled? Does the rating decision say that it, have a box that's permanent in total and it's checked? Have you actually read why the VA ruled the way it did?
Reductions can be a real problem; the VA can lower your rating from the $3000 a month you're getting to only $500 a month. With permanent in total, you not only have a lot more protection, but there are other advantages that can transfer over to spouses.
